We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Ivory Coast. They wrote...
"The streets are so active, day and night. I think the Ivoiriens are a particularly handsome people, and I love their sense of style - beautiful fabric made into shirts for the men and pagnes for the women. People make an effort to look their best here, from educated business people to produce vendors on the side of the road. And although I have, as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman, definitely been the recipient of many long looks, I have never felt threatened in any way," commented one expat who made the move to Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
